The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am
I remember this being one of the first "alternative" type songs I heard as a kid. Grew up hanging out with the (slightly) older heshers in the neighborhood so it was usually Maiden or Metallica or the like being played.
This song opened me up to a whole new thing and I thoroughly dug it. A few Cure and Violent Femmes albums later and I was head first into 90's suburban goth life.
Love that songβ€οΈ
Also havenβt heard the term hesher for a long time.lol.
I figured if the song didn't out me on age, that sure would.
loved that song and album!!! I was a teen by then, but it was so good.
